To all wlw/1a it' may concern.'

Be it known that I, JULIAN G. Gooniioii, a citizen ofthe United States,residing at Cl cago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois., haveinvented a certain new and useful Improvement in Atomizers, of which thefollowing is a full, clear, concise, and exact description, referencebeing had to the accompanying drawings, formingF a part of thisspecification.

l\.f'[y invention relates to an improved form of atoinizer and has asits principal object the provision of an atomizer which shall beeiiicient in its action and at the same time shall be manufactured ascheaply as possible and installed with a minimum of labor when it isfound that a connection leading from a rear instead of a side wall isnecessary, as a device of this character is usually introduced into thebowl from a side thereof. This would necessarily require that theatomizer extend laterally from a member leading from the rear wall.

A further object of my invention resides in the particular arrangementand combination of parts hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my improved atomizer, the lower part being broken away;

Fig. 2 is an inverted plan view of the top piece of my atomizer;

Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3-8 of Fig. l;

Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 4-4 of Fig. l, showing certainadditional parts pr supporting the atomizer, not shown in iig. 1.

Referring more particularly to the drawings, 1 is a top piece or capmember which is provided with a central horizontal. section 2. At oneend of the section 2 is a cylindrical hub 3 integral therewith.Projecting from the hub 3 in a direction at right angles to the part 2is a semi-tubular wedge 4. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the part A3 isclosed on one side by a face 5, in which is an aperture 6.

At the end of the part 2 opposite the hub 3 is a top piece 7 alsoprojecting at right angles to the direction of the part 2. Part 7 isprovided with a cap 8 at one end. Opposite the piece 7 the part 2carries a hook shaped lug 9. Immediately below the part 7 are suspendedtwo similar castings 10 and 11, iliade right and left respectively. Eachof the partsl() and 11 comprises a vertical por-tion 12 and a horizontalportion'l. The pars 12 are semi-cylindrical, as indicated in 8 andinclose the inner' tube 14, preferably of glass, for holding theliquid'to be sprayed by the atomizer. Each of the cast-'- ings 10 and 11is provided with ears or lugs 15 15, situated at the top of the verticalportions 12, while at the end of each of the horizontal portions 13 is alug 1G which projects within the cap 8. Now when the lugs 16 are placedwithin the cap and a screw 17 `passed through the lugs 15 above thehorizontal portion of the lug3 9, it will be seen that the parts 10 and11 will be firmly held in place by the use of only one screw, and alsothat the device can be readily assembled. As shown in Fig. 3 certaintubes are neces sary for the operation of my atomizer. Tube 18 deliversliquid into the receptacle 14 and is preferably connected with someexterior reservoir for maintaining a constant liquid level in 14. Thetube 19 delivers air for causing1 the spray, and is preferably connectedto a door check. The tube 19 is provided with an aperture 20, throughwhich the air blast is delivered. The tube 21 leads from the bottom ofthe receptacle 14 to a point near the aperture 20. As plainly shown, theaperture 20 is designed to direct a blast of air across the open end ofthe tube 21, thus sucking liquid from the receptacle 14 and spraying itinto the air. Since the aperture 20 faces downwardly, each of the parts13 is provided with a cutaway portion 22 forming an opening for thedelivery of the spray. As shownin Fig. 2 all of the parts of the member1 are hollowed out forming a semi-cylindrical groove for theaccommodation of the tubes 18 and 19. Also the part 7 and each of theparts 13 are provided with recesses for the reception of a cylindricalblock 23. It will be understood that the block 23 is drilled to permitthe passage of the tubes 19 and 21., and is designed to hold these tubessecurely in place.

Applicants method of supporting his atomizer is illustrated in Fig. 4,in which 24 is a tubular conduit or pipe used for inclosing the smalltubes 18 and 19, and also for supporting the atomizer. To attach theatomizer to the pipe 24 I make .use of a wedge member 25 which coperateswith the wedge shaped part 4. The member 25 is attached to a screw :26which passes through the aperture 6. At rst the screw 26 is insertedinto the part only a short distance, the parts L and 25 are placed Withinclined edges in engagement, and the parts 4 and 25 are then insertedinto the open end of the conduit 24k. The screw 26 is then tightened,whereupon the parts and 25 are wedged irmly against the-inner faeeof theConduitv 2li supporting the atoniizer' rmly in position.

This application 1s a division of my application, Serial No. 696,901,liled May 13. i912,

the end or. said hub on its face opposite said securing member, said'plate being` provided With an aperture through which a member adapted tocooperate with the securing member is adapted to be inserted.

ln an atomizer, a supporting member Comprising' a bodg,7 portion, anendportion having an open side, said end portion having its respective endsprovided with a recessed messes portion and a hook whereby atomizerinstrumentalities maybe secured to said end portion, anda shankextending laterally from one end of the body portion.

In an atomizer, a supporting member for supporting` the atomizerinstrumentalities, said supporting member having bodhiT portion and apair of laterally extending members proj eating from said body portion7one ofsaid laterally extending members forming` a means'bg,1 which thesupporting member is mounted and the other of said laterallyv extendingmembers having its respective ends-provided With a recessed portion anda hooked endL portion forming` a means tor enppofting;l the atomizerinstrumentalities.

il. In an atomizer, a snpporting member having' a bodyv portion,laterally extending;` members extendingfrom said bod)T portion, one oi'said lateral extensions being onen at one side to permit theintrodnetionor atomvizing instrumentalities and the other laterallyextending' nlember forming' a means or' support i'or the body portion.
